Shared Access lets the camera owner give trusted people access to the GALAYOU G7 Wi-Fi in Wansview Cloud. Shared users can usually view Live View, while playback, two-way audio, movement controls, and other options may depend on the camera, app version, and access rules.
[note] Device Sharing may also appear as Invite Family Members, Invite Family & Friends, Members, or Share Device. [/note]Before Sharing
Sharing is useful for family members, trusted roommates, or someone checking the camera during travel. Each person should use a separate Wansview Cloud account.
[checklist] * The camera owner can open the GALAYOU G7 Wi-Fi in Wansview Cloud * The recipient has installed Wansview Cloud * The recipient has created and signed in to their own account * The recipient is someone you trust with access to the camera view * The owner has reviewed the current shared-member list [/checklist] [reference] Title: Separate Account Text: Each person uses their own account, making access easier to review or remove later. Title: Shared Member Limit Text: The app may limit the number of accounts that can access one camera. Remove an existing member before adding another when the limit is reached. Title: Owner Account Text: The owner usually keeps access to camera settings, recording options, privacy controls, and member management. Title: Shared User Text: A shared user can usually open Live View, while advanced controls may be limited. [/reference] [warning] Do not share the owner account password. Use Device Sharing so access can be removed without changing the main account. [/warning]Share the Camera
Complete these steps from the account that currently owns the camera.
[step] 1. Open Wansview Cloud and select the GALAYOU G7 Wi-Fi. 2. Open Live View and tap the settings icon. 3. Find Device Sharing, Invite Family Members, Invite Family & Friends, Members, or Share Device. 4. Select Invite or Add Member. 5. Choose the available sharing method. 6. Send the invitation to the recipient through a private message, email, or chat. 7. Ask the recipient to open it on their primary phone while signed in to their own account. [/step] [tip] Send invitations only through a private conversation. Avoid public group chats where another person could open the invitation accidentally. [/tip]Accept Shared Access
The recipient should accept the invitation from the account that will receive camera access.
[step] 1. Open Wansview Cloud and sign in to the recipient account. 2. Open the invitation message. 3. Follow the invitation screen in the browser and select Receive or Accept. 4. Return to Wansview Cloud. 5. Confirm the invitation if the app asks for confirmation. 6. Refresh the device list. 7. Look for the camera in the main list or in an area such as Shared Devices or Received Devices. [/step]Shared User Access
Available features can differ between owner and shared accounts.
[compare] Live View | Usually available to shared users for basic monitoring. Alerts | May be available when the shared user enables local app notification preferences. Two-Way Audio | May be available depending on app access rules and camera configuration. Pan or Tilt Controls | May be available when the camera supports movement controls. Playback | May depend on storage, subscription options, and sharing permissions. Camera Settings | Often remain under owner control, especially for recording, privacy, detection, and member changes. [/compare]Manage Shared Members
Review the member list regularly, especially after a change in household access or camera placement.
[step] 1. Open the GALAYOU G7 Wi-Fi settings. 2. Open Device Sharing or Members. 3. Review each account with access. 4. Select a member who no longer needs access. 5. Choose Delete, Remove, or Cancel Sharing. 6. Confirm the change. [/step]When a member limit prevents a new invitation, remove an account that no longer needs access, then send a new invitation to the correct person.
Privacy Habits
[dosdonts] Do: Share only with people you trust to view daily routines and camera activity. Do: Use a strong, unique password for each account. Do: Let each shared user manage their own local notification preferences. Do: Keep motion zones and sensitivity tuned so unnecessary alerts are reduced for everyone. Do: Review shared members after moving the camera, changing household access, adding recordings, or returning from travel. Dont: Reuse the owner account password for another person. Dont: Leave temporary guest access active after it is no longer needed. Dont: Assume every shared account has the same controls as the owner account. [/dosdonts]Basic Sharing Checks
[troubleshoot] Problem: The invitation opens but there is no Receive or Accept option Cause: The recipient may not be signed in to the intended Wansview Cloud account, or the browser session may not be ready. Fix: Sign in to Wansview Cloud first, then reopen the invitation. Try the default browser or reopen the invitation after copying it again. Problem: The recipient accepted the invitation but cannot see the camera Cause: The device list may need to refresh, or the invitation may have been accepted from a different account. Fix: Refresh the device list, close and reopen the app, confirm the signed-in account, and ask the owner to verify that the account appears under Device Sharing or Members. Remove and resend the invitation when needed. Problem: A new member cannot be added Cause: The camera may have reached its shared-member limit. Fix: Review Device Sharing, remove an account that no longer needs access, then send a new invitation. Problem: A shared user can view the camera but cannot use a control Cause: Some features may remain owner-only or depend on the current app version, storage option, or sharing rule. Fix: Check whether the owner account can use the feature, update Wansview Cloud on both devices, and use the owner account for important camera settings. Problem: An invitation was sent to the wrong person Cause: The wrong recipient received or accepted the invitation. Fix: Remove that member immediately in Device Sharing, then send a new invitation directly to the intended person. [/troubleshoot]Shared access is easiest to manage when every person has a separate account and the owner reviews the member list at least once a month.[faq] Q: Can a shared user change important camera settings? A: Access can vary, but recording, privacy, detection, and member settings often remain with the owner account. Q: Why should each person use their own account? A: Separate accounts avoid password sharing and make it easier to remove access for one person later. Q: Can a shared user receive camera alerts? A: This can depend on the available sharing access and the recipient's local notification settings. Q: What should I do after a guest no longer needs access? A: Open Device Sharing or Members and remove that account from the camera. Q: Why does the camera appear in a different area of the app? A: Some app versions place accepted cameras in a Shared Devices or Received Devices section instead of the main device list. [/faq]
